Like everything else associated with this conference, the price of the
proceedings is ridiculous (50 pounds ~= $80).  The comparably-sized
proceedings of the ACM Lisp conference a couple of weeks earlier cost
$26 to non-members.  Similar comments apply to the cost of the
conference itself, and the cost of the "banquet".

Technically, the conference was very good.  But where is all the money
going?
